Do I need to solder / “bridge” both connections like shown in your setup? This post shows that you can connect .35 mm resistor clip offs to the holes in the PCB for the connection. In that case only the connection to the holes is made.
I’m still waiting on my toniebox to arrive, but wanted to prepare for the process. Great idea to use VCC from the UART to connect SOP2 to high and to use a female header, I’ll try to do the same.
Any help is appreciated!
